One patent was dreadfully burned VIII
vitriol squirted from a syringe. Another
declares he was bayoneted in the buttoek
Five policemen were stabbed with knives
1t was noticeable that the crowd, while
hooting the police, cheered the cavalry and
infantry posted in the middle of the square
ready for action in case the crowd broke the
police line. If the crowd had succeeded in
breaking the line it is believed the Riot Act
would have been read and the Infantry or
dered to fire.
kwED BY THE MILITARY.
When the cavalry force, with Colonel
Talbot at its head, arrived from Whitehall
and Magistrate Maisham was prepared to
read the Riot Act in case such warning
should become necessary, the crowd be-
came good-humored, in marked contrast
with their demeanor on the arrival Of the
mounted police. While the guards trotted
eight abreast around the square, cheers
went up; accompanied by shouts of Bravo,
Marsham !" We want free speeclrR'
" We are all true Englishmen, Irishmsn
and Scotchmenp p We only want our
legal rights as citizens of London r'
The second circuit of the square py the
guards ELECTED opposition from mob of
roughs in the crowd, who shouted, Brit
ons. shall not be ruled by lead and bayo-
Home Secretary. The guards patrolled the
square several times, and then turned into
adjacent streets They succeeded in awine
the roughs and IN greatly thinning out the
crowd.
At 5 o'clock the grenadiers wheeled into
the square with bayonets fixed and with
twenty rounds of ball cartridges in their
pouches. They were accompanied by an
ambulance. They halted in front of the
National Gallery and opened into line. The
mob was thus caught between lines of the
police and military, and the roughs were
compelled to run the gantlet. They were
hastened on their way by shove from one
of the policemen, cuff from another, and
kicks from third. Some of them showed
disposition to maintain their ground, but
the soldiers brought their bayonets to a
charge position, and the sight of the cold
steel quickly decided them to retreat.
The officers of the grenadiers rushed to
the front and ordered their men to replace
their arms, and the soldiers then contented
themselves with pounding with their rifles
on the toes of the crowd. and boxing the
ears OF turbulent rougos with vigor, which
seemed TO delight the policemen. The
crowd now booted the military with an
energy equal to that with which they had
cheered them before.
CHARGES BY THE PoLICR.
Soon after 5 o'clock the police made a
series of violent charges with their
batohs in determined efforts to clear the
whole vicinity, many points of which had
been crowded all the afternoon. Daring
one charge whole window of an
electrical shop fell with a crash. The
crowd asserted that the window was
broken by the hoofs of some of the police
mems horses. The police, however, as
sert that bricks were thrown at the win
dows. The loafers made a rush for the
contents OF the window, but TIE police re-
captured many articles and arrested the
thieves. A minute later the window of
refreshment room was smashed in by the
pressure of the crowd. There were one
or two similar cases In the course of the
charges, but by 6 o'clock there was no fear
OF further trouble. At $50 the whole force
of soldiers again patrolled the square, and
finally the crowd dispersed completely.
SOME EXCITEMENT WAS CAUSED
At Whitehall by the victorious police
marching with captured flags and
banners. The mounted police and
Life-guards were now ordered in
the direction of the Parliament buildings,
the side streets being eordoned with Con-
stables to prevent rushes. This move
cleared Whitehall and Parliament streets,
and the guards, with the exception of the
body retained in Trafalgar Square, were
enabled to return to their barracks by Z
o'clock.
Quiet was now somewhat restored.
though the square was still cordoned by
police. Away from the central scene there
were several outpost affairs. The most Sc
rlous affray occurred at o'clock at the
bottom of Wellington street. Sticks and
stones were freely used by the mub, and
many policemen were injured.
An Inspector had his nose broken by a
blow from a clenched fist, and the man
who committed the assault and twenty
others in his company were at once put
under arrest. Another procession, consist
ing of several Radical and Socialist clubs
from Clarkenwell, made its appearance at
Broad street and Bloomsbury, but was for
hidden to enter st. Martin Lane. Several
conflicts enSued.
A large body arrived by St. James street
and Pail Mall at o'clock, hooting Carlton
and cheering the Reform Club When this
body was near the Athenaum Palace line
of police barred the way. The crowd re-
sisted, and the police dubbed and drove
them away. Their banners were broken
down and trodden underfoot. Meanwhile
THE PRINCE OF WALES,
Who was sitting in cab unobserved, re-
turning to Marlborough House, ordered
drink for all the policemen on duty near
the house. The Pail Mall clubs followed
his example.
The Executive Committee OF the Radical
Federation held meeting last night and
resolved to hold meeting of delegates on
Wednesday evening at the London Patri-
otto Club to decide upon measures for re-
peating the attempt to hold public meet
ing on Sunday next.
